Mixing Style: Glamour and Graphic Tees

Graphic and statement tees are becoming style essentials. Once worn to concerts, cookouts and other casual events, the t-shirt is growing into a new life of high fashion. The normal t-shirt, whether plain or graphic, is essential to every fashionista’s closet. The t-shirt and jeans combination has been joined by the t-shirt and dress, t-shirt and skirt and countless other chic pairings. This comfortable trend shows no sign of letting up. The t-shirt trend can be styled by anyone of varying style levels. It is simple to take your t-shirts and glam them up for a clean, bold look. There are multiple ways to take your t-shirts from backyard to front page.

Pair Your T-Shirt With A Blazer

Adding a blazer is the easiest path to take when glamming up your graphic tee. If you are stumped at how to turn your classic styling of t-shirt and jeans into an upscale outfit, grab your favorite blazer. Blazers can add color and patterns that coincide or contrast with the design on the t-shirt. Use blazers and jackets to layer in bold prints and eclectic materials. Adding layers creates fashion and the ability to remove and add elements of an outfit as the weather and venue changes. Wear your favorite blazer with your graphic t-shirt and leisurely style the day away.

Glam Up Your Hair And Makeup

Another easy way to take your casual look to the next level is to style up your hair and makeup. Even the most boring or simple look can be saved with the right hair and makeup. With makeup, use bold colors and techniques to achieve a sharp and clean face. A full face will take your usually casual clothing to the next level. Do not do your makeup like you are wearing a t-shirt and jeans. Decorate your face with cocktail hour level cosmetics for effortless style.

Your hair can also make or break the look. Edge up your look with real hair extensions. Luxury hair extensions are crafted from human hair and are completely customizable. Cut and color your hair extensions to your liking. The new length gives you the ability to experiment with new styles. Pull your hair up and use your hair extensions for a clean and chic ponytail or add them at the crown for extra volume. The possibilities are endless.

Jazzy Jewelry

Pair glamorous jewelry with your t-shirt combinations. Gems and stones add sparkle to any outfit. A t-shirt and pair of pants are no different. Accessorize with statement necklaces, drop earrings and more. Use the metallic hues to tie in color and place throughout different points of your outfit. A graphic t-shirt layered with a statement necklace is great, but the addition of earrings, rings or bracelets adds a glamorous vibe and takes it to the next level. Put on some of your favorite bling the next time you grab a t-shirt.

The Perfect Shoes

Shoe choice is the final step in taking a t-shirt combination and making it street-style chic. You can do so with stylish sneakers, classy pumps and edgy booties. Make the shoe the fashionable element for optimum style. Pick trendy shoes to wear with your t-shirt looks. A simple t-shirt and jeans can be elevated by a killer shoe. Use your footwear to your advantage.
